Stardock recommends switching to Windows 7

The upcoming Windows 7 operating system apparently can’t get enough praise, even from game developers. Stardock CEO Brad Wardell said that one of the great features from Windows 7 was WARP (Windows Advanced Rasterization Platform), which allows offload of DirecX work from the GPU to the CPU, which greatly improves performance on systems with weak graphics cards. WARP is standard with Windows 7 and DirectX 11, which includes further GPGPU features which will help use the graphics card to do things a CPU normally does, like AI.
